Fundraisers to help Rancho Cucamonga boy with leukemia

RANCHO CUCAMONGA--Two fundraisers in the local area will help an 8-year-old Rancho Cucamonga boy in his fight against cancer.

Casey Fisher was diagnosed with leukemia in November. He's currently undergoing treatment at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.

The first event is taking place today until 11 p.m. at Chili's restaurants in Monrovia, Montclair, Chino Hills, and Rancho Cucamogna. Spencer Pratt, manager of the Rancho Cucamonga location, said those wishing to help can mention the Casey Fisher fundraiser, or show a related flyer. 15 percent of sales from the event go to helping Fisher's family.

The second event is Casey Fisher Night at the Ontario Reign game, 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 3, at the Citizen's Business Bank Arena. The Reign is donating $7 per ticket to help Casey.

"He's definitely a strong little boy," said Alan Fisher, Casey's father. "He's been through some insurmountable complications with his leukemia and through it all, he's pulled through just about everything that has come at him. This week we have started some really aggressive chemotheroapy."

To help further, a website has been set up www.caringbridge.org/visit/CaseyFisher1/mystory .
